It might offer a screen and a diversion so that other important corruption went UN-investigated, though.

A former prosecutor said that the FBI does not do security reviews. He said that in order to give a witness immunity, like in this case, a grand jury is already assembled and this case is built. He says that espionage is probably more likely than anything. The person I am talking about in Joe DiGenova who is a Republican but he did an interview on c-span that was very informative and insightful. I hate to think that we cannot see the truth being told, just because he is a Republican.

"The greatest country on Earth."

I keep praying to the Indictment Goddesses - I don't know what Comey is waiting for! He may have a deal with TPTB to not indict until they know if she's the nominee and if she is, he indicts her, she has to withdraw and they install Biden.

it was rumored he had said he regretted not running. I truly think he's the backup plan and a way TPTB get around the scary Democratic Socialist.

IF the DNC steals the nomination from Bernie. Clinton would be the nominee, right?

I think it's a possibility that TPTB have a deal with Comey to NOT INDICT UNTIL CLINTON HAS THE NOMINATION. If she's indicted, after she's the nominee, what happens? Who's the Democratic nominee AFTER Clinton is indicted and forced to withdraw?

Do you honestly believe TPTB are going to choose the populist Democratic Socialist (who received millions of votes)...nope, they won't. TPTB will find a convoluted way to nominate Biden as the presidential nominee.

It's either that, or just let Trump be the President.

Clinton is going to be indicted. Will it be before or after she steals the nomination? To stop Bernie from being the nominee, I believe it happens AFTER she steals it. JMCPO, of course.

PEACE
LOVE

It makes some sense that they're holding off because they really don't want Bernie to win.

But then there was Fitzmas. I have NO faith in the system.

is the very definition of being a True Believer of a cult. The fact this country has been dumbed down to this point has brought us to this danger, we have a Nazi running, a dominionist, and a neo con who is under investigation, as if it is completely normal.

It is the danger of economic downturns, the further along the decline, the greater the chance an extremist can take the reins. The difference with Bernie Sanders and the progressive movement is that it is not about him, he is inspiring and empowering people to think for themselves, and to resist these programs.
